also i was wondering about compression, i was thinking of runnin a decompression plate, where is the best place to get one of these from?? also what sort of boost could i run with a decompression plate??

cheers in advance

you can get an mf2 unit & a sig/con which controls 1 or 2 injectors that are located in an elbow before the tb, these will spray fuel into the tb and give you the fueling you need for when the car is on boost. when its off boost you are just running the car as is ment to be. (using the mf2 and a sig/con you need a bigger map sensor and bigger fuel pressure regulator, gmc motor sport sell all of the bits you will need)

however, you will have more reliability and a better more efficient setup if you were to run a standalone ecu. kms or omex to name a few but there are a load that will be up to the job.

as for the de-comp plate, the idea is to increase the gap between the piston crow and the valves, which in turn lowers the compression.

a few head gaskets together will achieve this but it wont last long and can cause problems.
you can get a de-comp plate made up a place called ferriday (spelling lol) engineering do plates to order, you tell them your spec and they will make a plate to suit your needs.

but you will be alot better off fitting forged low comp pistons.
its all down to your budget

hope that helps?

by the way, running a decomp plate isnt the solution to any problem.

the main factor is ensuring that you have the correct fuel for the boost you are running.

this is the important bit
if you run a turbo setup with incorrect fueling and too much boost. it will fly for a few mins then just die.
if you dont know what you are working with and what you want to achieve and how. you really need to pay for someone to do it for you, thats why they are the specialists, they do it day in and day out.

i have a question im going to buy a donner Saxo VTS i had a 200 W Red Saxo VTR Mrk 2 im going to turbo charge the saxo vts engine with the basic turbo kit with upgrated actuator from CITUNING http://www.cituninguk.com/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=28525 i was just wondering would i have to change any of the inside components of the engine e.g (pistons, conrods, cams, crank) or is that just if i go up through the stages im only planning to run the vts on entry level turbo untill i can save the little extra to buy the Stroker 1800 cc Turbo kit and the Stage 3 Turbo Conversion then at the same time i will upgrade all the inside engine components, I Just want to know if it will be able to run the engine on turbo Entry level for around about 6/8 months without any major problems arrising thanks for your help.

just do it once and properly or will cost you more in the future
stoker kits are around 2k alone from what kam has said in the past irrc so you will be looking around 5 or 6k to do it imo buy a better car

okay yeh looking it at that point of view it does look alot cheaper to do it all in one hit and i wud buy a better car but at the same time i like the fact that its something different and i dont see many turbocharged saxo vts's driving round surrey that i notice anyways but thanks for your opinion i am taking it into condieration

im also curious about this, can anyone actually tell me a "safe" psi you can run standard internals on, i know most will say there is no "safe" pressure but a pressure ppl do run these basic conversions on without to much hassle?

how much does it cost roughly for a turbo and the parts
